A special multinational zone of prosperity and productivity

After 10 years of construction, the Sihanoukville Special Economic Zone in the southern coastal city in Cambodia has attracted 109 companies and changed the lives of local people.

The SEZ, jointly developed by the Cambodian and Chinese governments, is about a four-hour drive from Phnom Penh, the country's capital. It covers an area of 11.13 square kilometers. Companies from China, the United States, France and Japan have established 148 manufacturing plants that produce products from clothing to electronics.

It now has 160 well-organized plants, service centers, dormitories, markets and large sewage treatment plants.
